There are many different options when it comes to anti-theft devices for your vehicle. Having an anti-theft device on your vehicle has many benefits. It will give you peace of mind when you park your vehicle at home or work and it often keeps your car insurance rates lower. Consider the following options when choosing the right anti-theft device for your vehicle.

STEERING-WHEEL LOCK

These devices go over the steering wheel and lock it in place so that your vehicle cannot be driven until the device is unlocked. Because this anti-theft device can be seen through your car window, it is often effective in deterring potential thieves from breaking into your vehicle. It is also the most economic anti-theft device on the market.

KILL SWITCH

These devices must be installed in your vehicle. They are designed to shut down the electrical system of your vehicle. This device usually requires the owner to perform a series of routines before a vehicle can be started.

CAR ALARM

When someone attempts to break into your vehicle, touches your vehicle or tries to open your door without a key, these systems are activated. They usually set off a loud siren that will stop thieves in their tracks. Insurance companies often provide discounted rates for vehicles with car alarms.

AFTERMARKET ENGINE IMMOBILIZER AND A GPS TRACKING DEVICE.

The best way to protect your vehicle is to install an aftermarket engine immobilizer and a GPS tracking device like the T3 Vehicle Security System. With the 911Tracker T3 Vehicle Recovery System, you are alerted the moment that your vehicle has unauthorized movement or a pre-installed vehicle alarm goes off. The alert will show you the GPS location, speed, and direction that your vehicle is traveling, and you can easily connect to the 911-Operator closest to your vehicle, allowing you to speak directly to police within seconds of the emergency. No call center is used – saving you time and money. Saving valuable time can save you, your family, your vehicle and your belongings. LoJack® doesn’t do this. OnStar® doesn’t do this. No other anti-theft system can do this. Want to start protecting your car or motorcycle? Contact us to learn more 877-744-3361!

Looking for a gift for the person that has everything and wants nothing? Get a Vehicle Tracking Device to protect their most prized possession!

The T3 Vehicle Security System is different because you are in charge. T3 follows the instructions that you text from your phone. T3 alerts you immediately if your car has an emergency or unauthorized movement. You call the T3 to connect a 3-way call to the 911-Operator located closest to your car – even if you are thousands of miles away. You are talking directly to police within seconds of the emergency. No call center is used – saving you time and money. LoJack® doesn’t do this. OnStar® doesn’t do this. No other anti-theft system can do this.

When used as a security system, a Vehicle Tracking System may serve as a double layer of protection or as a replacement for a traditional car alarm. The shortcoming with traditional car alarms is that they simply sound the car horn. We have become so de-sensitized to hearing car alarms as a society that most people will ignore a horn blaring even when a theft is in progress so it has limited benefit as a deterrent. But when a vehicle tracking system is installed on a vehicle you will receive a direct alert that the car is having unauthorized movements even if you are thousands of miles away from your vehicle at the time of the theft. Plus, the ability to track your vehicles movement and location.

As you can imagine not all vehicle tracking systems are created the same but our specific system (the T3) is so small that it may be installed on any vehicle and can be hidden in many places such as behind a glove box, behind the instrument panel, in a console, under a seat, or under parcel shelf. And since T3 has a connector on the side, it allows for you to swap it between vehicles if you wanted to!

Other features of the T3 include:

It alerts you via text if your existing Vehicle Alarm is triggered

It alerts you if your vehicle has unauthorized movement

Provides you with the GPS coordinates, direction and speed that the vehicle is moving

During the fall, the gorgeous oranges, yellows and reds of the changing leaves are all around us. But in some parts of the country, the trees are just begging for visitors to take a long drive to enjoy their beauty. While New England is one of the most well-known places to view fall foliage, check out these other places to enjoy the colors of fall as well.

Columbia River Highway

The Columbia River Highway in Portland, Oregon will take you through Mount Hood National Forest and along the Columbia River for breathtaking views of the autumnal colors of the ash trees, cottonwoods and the big leaf maples. Make sure to stop and see the beautiful waterfalls of the Columbia River Gorge in your travels.

Michigan’s Upper Peninsula

If you like a long drive, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is the place you will find it. Traveling east to west, the Upper Peninsula is 384 miles. The scenery includes not only the reds, yellows and oranges of the majestic changing leaves, but views of three Great Lakes as well.

Shenandoah National Park

Skyline Drive in Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park is 105 miles of colorful vistas. Enjoy the fall foliage as you take a ride on one of America’s Best Scenic Mountain Drives.

New York

One of the best places to see the changing leaves of fall is in the Catskill Mountains. Follow New York State Route 23 west for 50 miles of scenic mountain views. There are plenty of places to stop along the way as you delight in the spectacular all around.

There are so many places to take in the eye-catching beauty of the foliage, and there is such a short window of opportunity before the leaves have fallen. So get out there, take an adventure and enjoy the ride!Tech Tip: T3 will automatically notify the owner if the vehicle battery is getting low.

In 2015, the Honda Accord and Honda Civic top the list as the most stolen vehicles in America, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau’s (NICB) annual “Hot Wheels” report.

Using data from law enforcement agencies across the country, the Honda Accord was stolen 52,244 times. The most frequently stolen model years were 1994, 1996 and 1997. Following right behind the Honda Accord was the Honda Civic, with a total of 49,430 thefts. Thieves targeted model years 1997, 1998 and 2000, according to the NICB.

The data released in the “Hot Wheels” report is a reminder that older model vehicles are targeted most by thieves. FBI statistics also state that the value of the average stolen vehicle is $6,537. Vehicles like older model Honda Accords and Civics are often stolen for the resale value of their parts.

Just because your car isn’t the latest model vehicle on the road, it is important to protect your car from theft. One way to protect your vehicle is to install an aftermarket engine immobilizer and a GPS tracking device like The T3 Vehicle Security System. With the 911Tracker T3 Vehicle Recovery System, you are alerted the moment that your vehicle has unauthorized movement or a pre-installed vehicle alarm goes off. The alert will show you the GPS location, speed, and direction that your vehicle is traveling, and you can easily connect to the 911-Operator closest to your vehicle, allowing you to speak directly to police within seconds of the emergency. No call center is used – saving you time and money. Saving valuable time can save you, your family, your vehicle and your belongings. LoJack® doesn’t do this. OnStar® doesn’t do this.

Summer is beginning to wind down, the days are getting shorter, the leaves are beginning to change, and the cool Autumn air is moving in. While taking your bike out on the open road during the fall provides riders with the best views of nature’s beauty, it also creates new conditions to prepare for during the coming months. Keep these tips in mind while riding your bike in the fall.

WATCH FOR FALLING LEAVES

The changing leaves are beautiful, but falling leaves can be dangerous for riders. Whether the leaves are dry or wet, they both can be potentially dangerous. Be on the lookout for piles of dry leaves. They could be covering large potholes or problems in the road. Wet leaves create slick road surfaces. If you encounter dry or wet leaves on your ride, you should drive slowly until you have passed them to ensure your safety.

DEER SEASON

During the Autumn months, deer become more active. It is important to stay alert while riding, especially in more rural areas. While riding, try to scan the road just off the shoulders and watch for areas that deer may be crossing. Generally, deer movement peaks during dusk and dawn, so it is important to be on the lookout during these times.

FROST AND ICE

Because the temperatures begin to drop during the fall, many mornings there will be frost on the road. Be aware of any frost you see on the roads because there may also be a thin layer of ice along with it than can create extremely slippery and hazardous conditions for riders. Shaded areas begin to freeze first, so be particularly cautious in these areas.

DRESS FOR THE WEATHER

During any season, one of the most important things to remember is to dress for the weather. While the fall can bring warm days and very cold nights, dressing in layers is a must. Leather will keep you warm and protect you from the wind while riding. Also, don’t forget to pack your rain gear because you never know when you could encounter cold rain.

Riding in fall is one of the best times of year to ride. Not only do you experience the scenic beauty of the changing leaves, but the cool Autumn air creates near perfect conditions. By following these precautions, your Autumn ride should be a safe and enjoyable one.
